Answer
As I recall, DEBUG functions differently for System/36 programs.  I do not have access to an AS/400 in System/36 mode to give you specific examples, but I believe you insert lines into your program using the DEBUG operation code and the field whose value you wish to view in the RESULT field.  Code a '1' in column 15 of the 'H' specification line to enable the DEBUG statements, or a blank to disable them, then recompile the program.
